They do that and I’m going to reload every empty casing I have, fill up and head to D.C.

So is the twit proposing this an urbanite who is clueless about the distances in this country and the need of rural folks to drive, or a vengeful ‘Rat who wants to stick it to the Red states that backed Romney? (The two alternatives are not mutually exclusive.)

“Currently at 18.4 cents a gallon, the federal gas tax is used primarily to build and repair roads, bridges and other transportation infrastructure.
Typical lefty...a lie to start off with”

Exactly, The Feds waste about 40 percent of the federal road users taxes on bureaucracy, BS studies, bicycle paths, choo-choo trains, urban bus lines and miscellaneous crap! One of my complaints with the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), et al is that their national leadership are Obama whores and economic illiterates. I know because I am a member!

It WILL cut spending!

I LOVE this idea! This taxes the average citizen—so many Obozo voters—and it hits them harder with costs of goods going up with trucking!
THEN, maybe ...there will be pressure on the Senate and Administration to Stop Spending. Now, its just working people who have skin in the game and of course we have all the uneducated that thinks the money just comes “from the govt”. Wait till it comes from them!

Yep, we’re on the same page. Maybe it’s time that the Obama voters start paying for all the services that they DEMAND.

I doubt it. The typical moron O voter in this country will just blame the “evil business” for not absorbing the cost increase and instead passing it along in the price. They they will start screaming for price caps, “anti-gouging laws!”

As they experience shortages, they will still be blaming the evil businesses (bourgois) for not giving them free stuff! As they starve to death, they would sing praise to Obama and his ilk with their last breath.
